Miriam Moses OBE JP (13 November 1884 — 24 June 1965) was a British Liberal politician, philanthropist and social reformer.
In London, Mark Moses became a tailor, local councillor, justice of the peace and member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
By the time Moses contested elections, Labour was competing against the Progressives, and in 1925 the label was retired across the city and she stood as an independent candidate.
The Labour Party's failure to take the seat until then has been credited to Moses's personal popularity, which was reflected in her heading the polls in the ward by a substantial majority at every election.
[11] She supported the municipal provision of contraception for poor mothers, and in 1933 proposed a Jewish charitable solution for funding a housing programme.
[5] She supported Henrietta Adler in condemning anti-immigrant housing policies of the Municipal Reform Party in 1932.
[1] She was chief air raid officer for her neighbourhood throughout the Second World War, during which time she established a hostel for girls made homeless by bombing.
